Convergence for exhaustive filtrations #
Let F : ℤ → Subobject K be an increasing filtration of a cochain complex of modules K. The
filtration is exhaustive in degree n if every element of K^n lies in some F_q. Such a
filtration need not reach K at any finite stage: the skeletal filtration of the singular chains
of a fibration over an infinite CW complex, or the cell filtration of a twisted complex with
infinitely many generators, are exhaustive but not finite. This file proves two convergence
statements for the spectral sequence of an exhaustive filtration.
- The filtration of the abutment
H^n(K)is exhaustive: every class lies in some pieceF_q H^n(CochainComplex.exists_mem_range_filtrationAbutmentFiltrationι). HereF_q H^nis the image ofH^n(F_q) ⟶ H^n(K)(CochainComplex.toFiltrationAbutmentFiltration_comp_filtrationAbutmentIso_hom), and its graded pieces are the limit objectsE∞(CategoryTheory.Abelian.SpectralObject.EInftyIsoCokernel). When moreoverF_a = ⊥, the filtration ofH^n(K)vanishes ata(CochainComplex.isZero_filtrationAbutmentFiltration). - If the graded pieces
F_{i+1}/F_ihave vanishingH^mfor alli ≥ b, so does the quotientK/F_b(CochainComplex.isZero_homology_cokernel_arrow_of_exhaustive). For a first-quadrant spectral sequence this holds in every degree, for somebdepending on the degree. ThenF_b H^n = H^n(K)(CochainComplex.isIso_filtrationAbutmentFiltrationι_of_exhaustive). If moreoverH^{n+1}(F_{q-r+2})vanishes (for instance ifF_{q-r+2} = ⊥), the object at(p, q)withp + q = non pageris the corresponding graded piece ofH^n(K)(CochainComplex.filtrationSpectralSequencePageXIsoGradedOfExhaustive). If the cohomology of the stagesF_iandG_iof two filtrations vanishes in degreesnandn + 1for alli ≤ a(for instance ifF_a = G_a = ⊥), a morphism of such filtered complexes which is an isomorphism on some page induces an isomorphism onH^n(CochainComplex.isIso_homologyMap_of_isIso_spectralSequence_page_of_exhaustive).
The vanishing of H^m(F_j/F_b) for every finite stage j ≥ b holds in any abelian category
(CochainComplex.isZero_homology_cokernel_ofLE_of_isZero). The passage to K/F_b, the directed
union of the subcomplexes F_j/F_b, uses that cohomology classes of a directed union of
subcomplexes of modules come from its members
(HomologicalComplex.exists_homologyMap_eq_of_injective).

If the graded pieces F_{i+1}/F_i of a filtration have vanishing H^m for all i ≥ b, then
so do the quotients F_j/F_b for all j ≥ b.
The filtration of the abutment of an exhaustive filtration is exhaustive. If every element
of K^n lies in some F_q, then every element of the abutment H^n(K) lies in some piece
F_q H^n of its filtration.
The quotient by a stage of an exhaustive filtration. If every element of K^m lies in
some F_q and the quotients F_j/F_b have vanishing H^m for all j ≥ b, then so does K/F_b.

The filtration of the abutment reaches H^n(K). If every element of K^n lies in some
F_q and the graded pieces F_{i+1}/F_i have vanishing H^n for all i ≥ b, then the bth
piece of the filtration of H^n(K) is everything.
Strong convergence for an exhaustive filtration. Let pq = (p, q) and n = p + q.
Suppose that every element of K^{n-1} lies in some F_i, that H^{n+1}(F_{q-r+2}) vanishes,
and that the graded pieces F_{i+1}/F_i have vanishing H^{n-1} for all i ≥ q + r - 1. Then
the object at (p, q) on page r ≥ 2 is the graded piece F_{q+1} H^n / F_q H^n of the
filtration of the abutment H^n(K).
Instances For
The comparison theorem for exhaustive filtrations. Let α be a morphism between the
functors of filtrations F of K and G of L, and let n be a degree. Suppose that the
stages F_i and G_i at all indices i ≤ a have vanishing cohomology in degrees n and n + 1
(for instance F_a = G_a = ⊥), that in degrees n - 1 and n every element of K and of L
lies in some stage of the filtration, and that the graded pieces of both filtrations at all
indices i ≥ b have vanishing cohomology (no inequality between a and b is needed). If the
morphism of spectral sequences induced by α is an isomorphism on every object of some page
r ≥ 2, then α.app ⊤ induces an isomorphism on H^n.
